I read 14 books this year and my favourite was Eversion by Alastair Reynolds, followed closely by Pushing Ice by the same author. I "discovered" Cory Doctorow this year, reading 4 books (and I have another in my queue), being "Attack Surface" the one I liked most.

The only technical book I read was Programming in Lua (4th edition), and still didn't work for me. I guess I don't like Lua, and that's OK.

Alastair is on my S tier for sci-fi. Read so much of him. But didn't read Eversion. Adding it!

In your reading journey, which other authors/books have similar grand space scale as how Alastair writes? I mean, there are a lot, I know, but some overdo it and others oversimplify it. I find Alastair striking perfect balance of being "hardcore" in a way, but still making sense:)

Give Miles Cameron a go. Artifact Space is a good starting point.

Basically everything Miles Cameron writes is worth reading.

Strong recommendation for Alistair Reynold’s Century Rain if you want another of his. It’s part 20th century alternate history, part hard boiled crime noir, and part hard space opera.

Stealing this recommendation.

I stared from Revelation Space - full series. Then did done other ones. Didn't get to the Century Rain.

Thank you!
